Future Expansion
The north-south oriented stadium is bowl-shaped, with stands on three sides (west, east, and north). SMU has plans to develop a south side seating area, extending the stadium's seating capacity to 45,000.
With the announcement of the Big East Conference, Southern Methodist University has engaged in major stadium expansion fundraising and planning. These plans are in the University's long term plans and would raise the stadium's seating to over 65,000. As of December 2011, no major expansion plans have been announced.
